] Date Posted: 13:56:35 11/04/04 Thu Perhaps you're all too innocent to imagine that anyone might try to sabotage our project by pretending to be different people, but it was immediately obvious to me on seeing the posts by 'new' and 'anonymous' individuals on the forum over the last week that our Irish troublemaker had returned. Can't you spot Irish propaganda when it stares you in the face, Jim? I know you have a tendency to fly off the handle from time to time, but I think you owe us an apology for all the negative posts you've been making about Britain lately. Can't you tell the difference between all the intelligent open-minded individuals who regularly debate here and a handful of rogue posts by the same nationalist saboteur? I have checked the IP addresses of the posts and all the posts by the following came from THE SAME INTERNET ADDRESS. Spooky, eh? Fred (UK) Robert anon Curnoack S Witterick John Bull Paddy (Ireland) So let's drop the subject of divisin, yes? It exists, but mostly in only in the minds of a few poisoned Irish school children.

Date Posted: 14:08:38 11/04/04 Thu To be fair if we had a log-in capable forum these posts would still be possible, they would just take a little longer. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 16:48:27 11/04/04 Thu If we had a login-based forum, then in order to impersonate others, one would have to steal their password or otherwise bypass the login system in order to post as them. If you sent their ISP evidence of this, you could rightfully expect their net access contract to be cancelled... [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:20:29 11/04/04 Thu I think that it would be a sad step to have to log into this forum. If one idiot is posting here hoping to change people's minds then he is wasting his time as people will not change their principles so easily. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 18:57:40 11/04/04 Thu We could have a system where anyone could read and post, as we do now. However, there would also be a registration facility. You would register your name (freely), which would prevent guests from impersonating you without your password, which you would specify when you registered. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:22:45 11/04/04 Thu and it was me who used Matt(Cornwall) do emphasise my point....please don't make sweeping statements like that one without checking out the facts. You've already offended two people. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 09:29:39 11/05/04 Fri I don't think the issue is people impersonating others. This has not so far happened - though that's no doubt a good idea for Young Irelander to try next. All that's happened is someone has 'made up' a bunch of identities to create a debate which didn't exist. Log-in based fora don't prevent this. My own view of log-in based fora is no doubt based on my own impatience, but personally, if I were Young Irelander I would still take the trouble to log in under different identities if I felt strongly enough to try to sabotage a forum, whilst if I were a casual observer with a point of view to express, I probably wouldn't. Seriously, having to sign in really p*sses me off. I can rarely be bothered when I visit other sites. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
